RE: Very sloppy steering in Lightning VX!! Help!!
I had the same issue with mine out of the box. The problem is that the steering linkages (ball and cup) are brand new and really tight. This causes resistance and will not allow the wheels to center again. To fix it you can take off each cup and slightly ream it out so it rotates on the ball freely. The other option is to buy a stronger steering servo to overpower the resistance that is there.
Good luck,
